Migration from docker-wireguard-go

Deployment · Updated 2 weeks ago

If you're already running docker-wireguard-go and now want to use Home Gateway features (HTTP/TCP proxy, WoL):

Step 1: Stop the old instance

cd /volume1/docker/wireguard-go  # (or wherever dwg runs)
docker compose down

Step 2: Create a new Gateway peer in GateControl

The old peer (dwg) stays in place — the new gateway uses its own WG keys. UI → Peers → enable the "Home Gateway" checkbox → download the new gateway.env.

Step 3: New setup

See linux-docker.md or synology.md.

Step 4: Disable the old dwg peer

Only AFTER the new gateway is running and all routes work: disable or delete the old peer in GateControl.
